Thank you for your reply! But do you think this is even possible to gain such an amount of weight taking into account my stomach capacity was greatly reduced + dumping syndrome? For now I am struggling to gain even 2-4 lbs while more than 20 months since the surgery passed already.

260 is my ideal goal of gaining back. I was 300 before, 130 now and want to gain up to 260 lbs. I know it might sound weird, but I was really comfortable at that weight and want to get it back as now I have a child (could not get pregnant before the surgery because of the excess weight).

Hello! My case is bit unusual from those I read here. I made a gastric sleeve surgery back in October 2023 (20 months ago) when I was 23 y.o., my weight was 300 lbs back then. In a month after surgery there was another surgery (my surgeon made a mistake which caused an abscess) and another surgery then too. They also cut 10cm of my intestines. It turns out that in 4 months after the first surgery, I got pregnant with long-awaited child. It is important to note that I made a surgery just to have an opportunity of having a baby, I was comfortable with my previous high weight. Pregnancy went good, without any complications and we born a healthy child who is 8 months now. I've lost 165 lbs over these 20 months (surgeries + pregnancy + breastfeeding). Unfortunately, I feel very uncomfortable in this weight and aiming to gain at least some of my weight back, ideally up to 260 lbs. Is it ever possible, or not? May be some people over there have stories about gaining weight back after the surgery? Or some tips? Will be grateful for any answer ?
